The Top 10 Most Visited Wildlife Attractions in the UK

We have a lot of wildlife parks and zoos here in the UK and to be honest you are never very far away from one. But which one gets the most yearly visitors on average? Let’s find out where they are and how many people visit them…

West Midland Safari & Leisure Park is home to some of the world’s most beautiful and endangered exotic animal species. It also has a fast-growing theme park which might explain some of the visitor numbers.

This is where the mix of theme parks and zoos starts to happen. Sure that is visitor numbers, but how many people will goto the zoo part of the park?!? Having said that I make sure to go around the animals everytime I go there, only then it is onto the rides.

Said to be one of the oldest zoos in the world it was officially opened on April 27, 1828! But still, it remains a top tourist attraction and a firm family favourite.

It might have opened way back in 1931 by George Mottershead and his family, but it has since gone on to be considered the seventh best zoo in the entire world by TripAdvisor! Now that is a big claim to fame indeed.
